19. Darnell Dockett

Dockett raised his draft value late in his final year at Florida State, and the Cardinals felt he was worthy of their 2004 Third Round Pick.  They were proven right.

An All-Rookie and immediate starter at Defensive End, Dockett had his first Pro Bowl in 2007.  Two more would follow in 2009 and 2010 when he shifted to Defensive Tackle, with a Second Team All-Pro coming in 2009.  A torn ACL kept him out of the 2014 Season, and he was released the following year.  Dockett signed with San Francisco but was let go before the season began.  He returned to Arizona on a one-day contract to retire as a Cardinal.

Dockett had 40.5 Sacks and 472 Tackles over his career.
